So we beat the Packers on MNF 20-17 in overtime and we are one game and very little help from making the playoffs. Why am I not excited you ask? For one, I had to work a midnight shift without the benefits of ESPN television. and for two... I'll let the texts I recieved during the game (Plus some choice Jeff Joniak quotes) explain my feelings...

7:30 PM Boomer is such a windbag - db

7:57 maniella! - melissa

8:14 I thought you were going to the game - melissa

8:35 No pass rush its like little boys playing against men. - db

8:54 We punted. it hit blackmons foot, we recovered for a TD. ruled to not touch him. d looks like sh*t. cant catch. were done. how can we be flat? FU*KLOVIE! - cuz

8:57 Why do the Bears play like VAGINAS? - zack

9:17 Suck. no offense at all they got a half left to show me something. bear weather-ha. we have a dome team and we play outside - cuz

9:45 Is this 11 on 11 or 17 on 8? Is this shit regulation? - zack

9:50 I'm about to blow something up. these guys blow. - juju

10:04 we have 85 yards and theres ____ time left and the score is only 17-10! We are still in it! – Jeff Joniak 780 WBBM

And there you have it. Heart. We have heart. Old man strength. Experience. Whatever you want to call it. The ability to come out and look like sh*t and still get the only thing that matters, the W. The problem is on MNF we come out flat at home in Bears weather with our Playoff hopes on the line! How is that possible!? Lovie 'boring' Smith. That is how. Everyone knows it, but we are going to back into the playoffs, maybe get Arizona and one playoff win and Lovie might even get a raise. This season is a nightmare. A nine win nightmare. What I wouldn't give for Mike Singletary. I agree with DB, I'm going to go watch caddyshack.Merry ChristmasBears Humbug.
